PARSONS SUSPECTS TRIcKERY.

During the day Parsons wrote a long
communication, which he handed to the
reporters unsigned. 1t was almost a his
torical denunciation of the bombs discovery
as premeditated trick of the condemned
mems enemies to blacken them in the eyes
OF the public. The meals of the prisoners
being no longer allowed to come from their
friends, but being instead furnished by the
Sheriff, he permitting the men TO order at
his expense whatever they like, the bill of
fare has become a subject of interest. No
little curiosity was expressed to-day as to
Just what food such man as bomb-maker
Llngg would like. When the time came,
Llngg calmly requested blood sausage, sour
kraut and apple pie He ate them with a
relish
Hon. John n. Jewett was interviewed
tonight as to the possibilities of writ of
habeas corpus being issued in the Anarch-
lists cases He said such a writ was open to
them IN their present position upon a petit
ton strong enough in its allegations, and if
issued the Sheriff would be called upon to
make return and show by what process of
law the prisoners are held.

This is an increase over any previous day,
and the proportion of requests for clemency
is also said to be somewhat greater than
yesterday. Chicago, as usual, furnished the
bulk of the mail on this subject.

Great excitement was occassioned here
tonight by the announcement that Col

notified that the commanders of the two
Springfield companies of the Fifth regiment
State militia must hold their companies in
readiness to assemble at their armory for

Men in military uniform are to be seen on
the streets, and when questioned all they
can tell is that they have been notified 70

known at this writing what the object of
the order is, nor where the troops are
